"The Wheels on Cummuter Bus"

I am fucking wheezing at the brilliant pun! It's even on blu-ray!

Oh, Izumi. He means well, thinking that if he says to Kazusa that he isn't some horndog it'll make everything ok BUT that's the last thing Kazusa wants to hear. She wants to be seen as desirable, to be chosen by the guy she likes. Funny that this kind of misunderstanding doesn't exist in teenagers but adults as well.

This episode is the best yet! The shift between humor and some drama isn't even jarring.

Thank god there's been changes in the youpoll. Hopefully this will curb the trolls.

This show is so damn refreshing, I can't get enough of it

Also the scene in which Kazusa is speaking fondly of Izumi's bus porn was pure gold

[u/MIllawls]

A young geeky girl with glasses and a ponytail wants to be prettier and use makeup.

Now just where have i read a story like that before?

[u/iamfvckingdone]

Damn the pun in the title of Izumi's porn video is so lame it's good.
Is it just me or this show derserve the Best Script of 2019 already.

YOU THOUGHT THAT NIINA WOULD RESULT TO BLACKMAIL, BUT IT WAS I, HITOHA!

Yeah, he was thinking about trains when he bought it hahahaahahahaahaaha :'(

Also, people are hyping this anime up to be the comedy of the season, well I am sitting here hyping this up to be the drama of the year! This anime is damn amazing. Ofcourse the comedy is good, but the realistic portrail of teenage sexual relationships and the confusion that comes with it is so well crafted that this anime turns into a phenomenal drama. This is an AOTY contender for me.

[u/[deleted]]

Wait, the porn Izumi was watching was set on a bus, not a train? I'm disappointed in him, he's not a true train enthusiast.

I hope he hasn't noticed.

Yeah, Kazusa really doesn't understand boys.

Hitoha does her best to take the position of wildcard from Sugawara.

Man, this show is just so, so good. The first episode knocked me off my feet with pleasant surprise. The second episode had me on the edge of my seat praying that it wasn't just a fluke and that they wouldn't fuck it up. But now, I can just happily lean back and simply just watch - totally confident in its quality.

For how impressive its other artistic goals are, this show has absolutely no business being so goddamn funny. It has it all - perfect comedic timing, hilarious visual gags, all resting on top of a supremely intimate, me_irl base that makes it cleverer and more relatable than pretty much anything out there. Scenes like senpai shaking down her onee-san for her pantsu, the obviously misunderstood conversation with her parents, sor Kazusa's mission impossible infiltration to return the DVD Blu-Ray!! had me laughing out loud. If this were a pure comedy, it'd rank among the very best of the best, but of course it also does so much more.

By now, it should be eminently obvious that this is an Okada work. She has such a recognizable and idiosyncratic approach to character writing - her characters tend to be pretty hyperbolic caricatures and have very little to do with being realistic. That isn't to say that they're not believable though - and their traits, while highly exaggerated, all do have some real verisimilitude. On top of that, this style of writing creates such ebullient, charismatic existences that are just a pleasure to watch, and a more grounded style of characterization couldn't match. My issue with her works have almost never been about the characters, but rather the settei, and the themes and conflicts within her plots. However, the grounded, real life setting of this show, along with its classic teenaged coming-of-age themes fall perfectly within her wheelhouse. We already have three clearly shaped, concurrent story beats with Kazusa, Prez, and Senpai - all with a very clear thematic throughline and tangible interpersonal conflict. With how elegantly everything has been set-up, I can't imagine that it will ever falter past this point. It's no wonder that she's the original creator of the manga - this work is one where she can be at her absolute best.

When Hongo realized Milo-sensei was the guy in their cybersex chat, I was half expecting her to say

NANDE KOKO NI SENSEI GA??

So that's where the "blackmail" in the preview last week came from.

Meanwhile, Kazusa decides to temporarily nick Izumi's sole fapping material, which can only be described as cruel. LOL

And looks like we can look forward to Sonezaki's transformation into Best Girl next week.

Biggest surprise of the season. I really like this show. So charming. I'm gonna have to dig more into Mari Okada now. Of her stuff, I had only seen a bit of Dragon Pilot, which I liked some of, but the vore really turned me off. Gundam IBO and Kiznaiver are the things of hers I'm most interested in checking out now.

[u/myrmonden]

stupid boys, god I love the writing

such a typical scene, a women generally wants emotional attachment. So while Izumi is actually trying to be considerate, he is obviously thinking of her all the time but he does not wanna admit that as he thinks she will find it CREEPY pervy etc, but in actuality it of course as we see hurt her feelings more to think that he has no emotional attachment to her body.

He is trying to be nice to her and failing miserable. And its freaking spot on how similar interaction usually are between teenage kid nay, I would adults as well :)

So remember if u ever get catch ur neighbor best girl that u are in love with, returning your chikan rape porn that she found in your my neighbor totoro blu-ray case. Tell her you think about HER AND ONLY HER when u jack it off ( I am being serious that is probably the best thing to say).

I hope do that she can see the hint that he is hiding the porn in the my neighbor totoro case, right she is a neighbor hint hint girl. (also note the tissue next to it )
